APPLICATION FOR REZONING 533 YONGE STREET - MARIO REFFO (June 6, 2011) (File: D14-1508)
Mr. Bell, Skelton Brumwell and Associates Inc. stated that the purpose of the public meeting is to review an application for a rezoning submitted by Skelton Brumwell and Associates Inc., on behalf of Mario Reffo. He noted that the subject lands are located on the east side of Yonge Street across from D’Ambrosio Drive. The property is known municipally as 533 Yonge Street and legally described as part of Registered Plan No. 885, Lot 40, Block C, now in the City of Barrie. He indicated that the property is located within the Painswick North Planning Area with a total area of approximately 4,434.5m2 (1 acre).
Mr. Bell stated that the lands are currently designated Residential within the City’s Official Plan and are zoned Residential Single Dwelling First Density (R1) and Residential Hold (RH) in accordance with both Zoning By-law 85-95 and Comprehensive Zoning By-law 2009-141. He observed the proposed Rezoning would rezone the subject parcel to Residential Multiple Second Density (RM2) and Environmental Protection (EP) to permit the development of a 10 unit walk-up apartment building and the dedication of EP lands related to the identified top of bank for Lovers Creek located to the north of the site.
Mr. Bell concluded by stating that he feels that the proposal is in conformity with the City of Barrie’s and the Province’s Planning Policies. He commented that the property is located within the intensification corridor. Mr. Bell also noted that he believes the addition of this type of housing offers some variety to existing structures and is suitably located on the site after the required environmental land dedication. He concluded by indicating that in his opinion, the development proposal takes advantage of existing services and infrastructure.
